KitchenAid KUD-22 manual Choosing the Loca T/ON

I CHOOSING THE LOCA T/ON

For easy access to plumbing, it is most convement to have your dishwasher located near the kitchen sink.

Any built-in dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top, both sides, and the back. Therefore, the cabinet space below your kitchen counter is probably the best location. If the dishwasher is being installed at the end of a cabinet or free standing then side panels and a wood top can be purchased from your KitchenAid dealer to enclose the dishwasher.

The cabinet opening (Fig. 1) should be square with dimensions as follows: Height - 3311/,6” (856 mm) to 35” (889 mm); Width - 24” (610 mm) minimum; Depth - 24” (610 mm) minimum. If the dishwasher height of 33”/ ,6” (856 mm) is too high, it may be reduced to 337h6” (849 mm) by removing the leveling feet. If side panels are used, cabinet height should be 34%” (876 mm) minimum to 35” maximum using the adjusting legs.
